Frank Funaro raised from the button to 500,000, and Richard Seymour used a Time Chip to tank for a while before he reraised from the small blind to 4,125,000.

Funaro four-bet all in, and Seymour quickly called all in for 6,975,000 with AdJd. Funaro turned over AhJh, and unless somebody makes a flush, it’ll be a chopped pot.

The flop came Kd9d7h, giving Seymour a diamond flush draw and Funaro a back-door heart flush draw.

The turn card was the 4h, and at that point, both players had a flush draw. If the river card is red, somebody is winning this pot in heartbreaking fashion.

The river card was the Qs, and it was a chopped pot.
